Abstract:
In September 2016, the third BeTSSi (Benchmarking of Target Strength Simulations ) workshop was held in The Hague, The Netherlands. Participants were offered the chance to benchmark their numerical simulation tools using a number of predefined structures that are relevant for understanding the target strength of submarines. In addition to a generic submarine model (with internal parts) and a number of simple structures (with and without internal components), which were simulated during the first and second workshop (2002 and 2014), the test cases were expanded to investigate the contribution of an isolated corner reflector and torpedo tubes. An overview of the workshop is given and a selection of the results is presented.
